Tagging Bridge Elements

00:02

Since we have basically imported an entire bridge from InfraWorks into Revit,

00:06

we had to do some mapping so Revit can understand what it is we're actually looking at.

00:10

That being said, we're going to look at how to tag these hybrid components.

00:16

So, let's open the model we've been working in.

00:19

In the project browser, let's go to our south elevation.

00:23

Now I want to just zoom in and we're going to be picking on Pier 1 all day.

00:27

So, let's go ahead and select Pier 1.

00:30

Now let's click "Edit Type".

00:34

In the properties, let's fine type mark and I want to call that capital P-1.

00:40

it's P-1.

00:42

Click "Apply".

00:44

Click "OK".

00:50

Now, let's scroll down to the foundations.

00:52

Select the foundation.

00:55

Let's click "Edit Type".

00:59

For the type mark, let's call it F-1.

01:04

Click "Apply".

01:06

Click "OK".

01:08

So, I'm going to do the same for the rest of these.

01:09

I'm going to click "Edit Type", select that one.

01:12

For my type mark, I'm going to say P-2.

01:18

Click "OK".

01:21

And my foundation, "Edit type".

01:25

It's going to be F-2, and then do the rest.

01:30

Okay, well, these are all tagged.

01:32

I'm going to zoom back into this one here.

01:36

I'm going to go to my annotate tab.

01:39

I'm going to click on "Tag by category".

01:45

Let's make sure leader is checked on.

01:47

And for the end, let's make sure that's a free end.

01:52

So, I'm going to zoom into my pier somewhere here.

01:55

Hover over Pier 1, pick a spot here, pick a spot here, then I'm going to pick a spot here, and hit Escape a few times.

02:04

Now, let's put a leader arrowhead on this.

02:05

I'm going to select my tag and click "Edit Type".

02:11

And for my leader arrowhead, I'm going to click into here, and I'm going to grab arrowfield 15 degree.

02:18

Click "Apply".

02:19

Click "OK".

02:21

Excellent. Not what I want to do is I want to physically edit this tag.

02:25

So, I'm going to click "Edit family".

02:30

Now let's select our little label, this little one I.

02:33

Select that, lets click "Edit label".

02:38

Now I want to add a type mark.

02:40

The type name is fine.

02:42

So, I'm going to scroll down until I find type mark, and I'm going to edit.

02:48

Now I want to put a break in it.

02:50

And for my prefix, I want an open parenthesis.

02:55

And for my suffix, I want a closed parenthesis.

03:02

Click "Apply". Click "OK".

03:04

I'm going to load into the project and close.

03:06

And we don't need to save any changes so click "No".

03:11

Overwrite the existing version.

03:17

Now, let's go back to annotate.

03:21

Let's tag by category.

03:25

We're going to grab our footing as foundation one point here.

03:29

And we repeat our steps, select your tag, click "Edit Type".

03:35

Change the leader arrowhead to arrowfield 15 degrees.

03:41

Click "Apply".

03:43

Click "OK".

03:45

Click "Edit family" with it still selected.

03:49

Select your tag.

03:52

Edit the label.

03:54

Let's add our type mark.

03:58

Let's make sure it breaks it.

04:01

Open-end parenthesis and we will close with the parenthesis.

04:07

Click "Apply". Click "OK".

04:10

Click "Load into project and close".

04:13

Now we don't need to save the changes, so select "No".

04:17

Overwrite the existing version.

04:20

I like my leader to touch my object so I'm going to select it. I'm going to drag it down a little bit.

04:27

There we go.

04:28

That's how you tag these pier elements.
